my wife @allyscottauthor.bsky.social wrote a short story about an awkward pathetic trans angel boy turning into a giant angel-beast to protect his autistic lesbian sister from their shitty parents, and it’s literally the ANTHOLOGY OPENER, so be proud of her with me and go get a copy

The cover of REVERENT: An Anthology of Divinity, all in blue-green monotone with swords, vines, flowers, and circuit boards. An ink drawing of two white-haired siblings with heads framed by wings, one looking on nervously while the other points off-screen accusingly.

The publication day graphic has blue & teal tones. The background is a starry night sky with dark clouds at the bottom. At the top, in white font says: PUBLICATION DAY with a divider beneath it. Below that is the cover, surrounded by four arrows and text chunks. The text chunks are: - Short stories, nonfiction, & poetry about all things divinity - Vietnamese, Indigenous, Puerto Rican, disabled, and other beautiful rep - Queer & trans longings and horrors - Laugh one page, cry the next! Below the cover, it says: Now at all major booksellers + Ko-fi. The Reverent cover is various shades of teal and light turquoise with different illustrations and the title + contributor names on the cover. From top to bottom, we see: Dark teal vines over the light teal background that, in a slightly circular motion frame the rest of the illustrations. In the upper corners are a half-moon, a flower and leaves, and a snake. Between them is a curved banner with the white text: QUINTON LI PRESENTS Under the banner is the illustration of a sun with a lighter teal face and dark cheek circles. It’s looking to the right side. The title is different shades of light teal/turquoise flowing into each other and embossed. It says REVERENT. Above the letters E and R is a white halo. Behind the title are dark teal wings with crossed longswords in front of them. The wings and sword illustration carried on below the title ad behind the sub-headline which is AN ANTHOLOGY OF DIVINITY. On both sides next to the sub-headline are lighter teal illustrations of electrical computer chips. In the middle below the wings is a candle surrounded by four leaves. Below is black text with the names of all contributors. On either side of the text is a fem-presenting person with one arm reaching toward the title above and one arm floating toward the end of the contributor names. They have light teal skin and thick black hair which reaches halfway down their back. The graphic has blue & teal tones. The background is a starry night sky with dark clouds at the bottom. At the top, in white font says: A NOTE ON TODAY’S ECONOMIC BLACKOUT. There’s a white divider line in the middle. Below it in white font, the text says: Please support todayäs global economic blackout, specfically targeting retailers like Amazon. If you still wish to purchase a copy today, you can do so on the curator’s ko-fi (link in bio)! Otherwise, we’d be grateful if you waited till tomorrow. That way you can support a group of indie authors & the boycotting efforts. Thank you!!!

The cover for Reverent: An Anthology of Divinity stands in the center. Clouds boarder the top and bottom, with an angel holding twigs with leaves at the top left and a pair of praying hands with a rosary at the bottom right. The phrase "Reverent is out" in large text sits at the top right corner. The the left of the book are the texts, "available at major book retailers," and, "short stories, poems, letters, posts, and nonfiction from 30 different writers." To the left is the text, "an exploration of the divine." The entire posts consists of shades of teal-green and white

It’s March, my birthday is this month, & the best present you can give me is buying a copy of REVERENT! My traumatized Angel siblings Sev & Monday (drawn by AJ) are SO important to me & I can’t wait for you to read about them! Thanks @itsquinnli.bsky.social for taking a chance on me and my angels!
A pen and marker drawing of the characters Severin and Monday, both have long silver hair and wings on their heads. Sev is a trans man with visible top surgery scars like wings, and his sister Monday, who has scales on her arms and face, is leaning around him to point to someone off camera as if saying “he asked for no pickles” THE FAR TOO HOLY AND THE ANGELS FALLING SHORT by Alice Scott

Love that prompt 😄 Here are a few unhinged ao3 for my upcoming short story about snarky God lovingly calling out a disabled enby until they start valuing themself.
It’s part of a wonderful anthology, edited by @itsquinnli.bsky.social ❤️ ARCs are going out soon 👀 Application is in my bio! #BookSky
The image shows the mock cover of the short story POSTS FROM GOD with ao3 tags around it. The cover has a red-gray background of a rainy street near Times Square. In front of it is the black silhouette of a person with sketched gray wings attached. The title is written in a painting strokes white font. Beneath it, it says „FT. IN REVERENT: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DIVINITY“. On the right lower corner, next to the cover, is white text that says „ARCS for Reverent: An Anthology of Divinity are going out soon! Check my bio link for more :)“ There are 7 ao3 tags screenshots around the cover. They say the following: - Catholicism as written by a heathen - I will therapize the reader via this fanfic - in my opinion I’m tiptoeing on the fine line between hilarity and heartbreak - Purposeful miscommunication (aka: lying through your fucking teeth) - repressed emotions in a trench coat - Self insert, not myself but probably someones self, if youre unlucky enough to be the self here im so sorry - despite all this, an underlying theme of hope
